Chapter 16 Iwagakure?
"Be careful, they are not ordinary kids!"
The smoke screen began to dissipate slowly, and Ruri's Sharingan and Ayane's Byakugan were all exposed.
As Konoha's top Kekkai Genkai ninja clans the Uchiha and Hyuga have caused the ninjas of the other major ninja villages to suffer greatly in the previous great ninja wars.
The Sharingan even gained the reputation of 'one-on-one, must escape'.
The winning rate can be said to be close to zero against the Sharingan Ninja alone.
After Ruri and Ayane exposed their Kekkai Genkai, the ninjas who came to besiege them were all in awe.
The ninja who attacked Ayane first was only a Chunin from Sunagakure Village, but he was easily eliminated by Ayane who had the Byakugan eyes in the smoke. When she has her attention on you, you can't do any small actions.
What's more, there are Ruri's Sharingan eyes staring at them.
As for Shiroshi, the humble medical ninja, they actively ignored him.
Just a medical ninja, as long as the enemy's main force is defeated, Shiroshi is no different from a lamb to be slaughtered in their eyes.
"In that case, just separate the three of them!"
A ninja wearing a sand headband had a deep look, his hands gathered a large amount of chakra visible to the naked eye, and his hands slammed on the ground.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Divide!"
boom!
The three of them immediately changed color. The earth began to crack inch by inch like an earthquake, and the range was very large. It was too late to think about countermeasures.
The surrounding soil and rocks kept sinking and cracking. The three had to attach chakra to the soles of their feet to avoid the huge force caused by the earthquake.
Seeing that the group of three became chaotic due to the fragmentation of the earth, the remaining ninjas jumped up again, their eyes full of murderous aura.
"This guy…"
Ruri's eyes were fixed on the Sunagakure ninja who used the earth ninjutsu.
This incomparably skilled earth-style ninja, had huge power and the perfect ability to divide the battlefield, this was more like the style of the Iwagakure ninja than the Sunagakure ninja.
The scarlet Sharingan began to turn, and when the enemy set off, he did not back down and chose to fight head-on.
"If you want to use your Sharingan, I just have to avoid your eyes..."
The sand ninja who met Ruri, let's consider him as a sand ninja, because they do wear the sand ninja forehead guards.
Although Ruri has doubts about the identity of these sunagakure ninjas.
Of course, she cannot deny that sand ninjas are among them, but some unidentified ninjas must be mixed in.
The sand ninja that attacked Ruri was very confident.
When participating in this ninja war, the experienced ninjas in the village reminded them that if they encounter an Uchiha ninja with a Sharingan open, they need to avoid looking at their eyes, otherwise they will be defeated by illusions.
Even then it is not easy for the enemy to avoid the eyes, but as a special Jonin, he only needs to intercept the opponent and let the others come up to flank him, and victory can be guaranteed.
When he thought so, he used a Kunai to block Ruri's Kunai.
However, the ferocious power that poured into his arm made his face turn pale.
He even had auditory hallucinations of crunching bones.
The body froze for a moment, and he raised his head subconsciously, just in time to meet a pair of scarlet eyes.
In an instant, his consciousness fell into chaos, and his eyes were dull.
Ruri slit the Kunai on his neck, and at the moment when the blood spilled out, she disappeared on the spot with the body flicker technique, and rushed towards the next target, moving smoothly.
Shiroshi, who looked at Ruri and Ayane's exploits, showed no surprise.
Although the strength of the enemy is very strong, there are two Kekkai Genkai ninjas gathered here, and they are the famous Sharingan and Byakugan in the ninja world, and they will not be defeated in a short time at least.
After all, the most powerful ninjas in this unit,
Were besieging Sakumo, or rather were being restrained by him.
The opponent's strategy is probably mainly to contain Sakumo, and the remaining fighting power will deal with Shiroshi and the others as soon as possible, and then besiege Sakumo together and kill him, the famous Konoha White Fang.
In this way, the morale blow to Konoha will be great.
But they underestimated the strength of Sakumo, and the more serious mistake was that they did not expect the powerful fighting power of Ruri and Ayane.
Ayane aside, she should be a little short of the level of Jonin, and Ruri's comprehensive abilities have completely reached the level of Jonin.
Combined with the deterrent power of the Sharingan, there must be two Jonin in order to form a suppressive force against her.
Just as Shiroshi was hiding behind a big tree and thinking, the ground under his feet suddenly cracked open, as if something was about to break through.
"Earth Style: Fang Piercing—"
Puff!
Shiroshi interrupted the enemy's ninjutsu release.
A kunai stabbed into the hard soil.
Shiroshi remained squatting on the ground, his eyes calm.
"Don't come out suddenly and startle me..."
The ninja hiding in the soil lost his life forever.
He gently pulled out the Kunai, fiddled with the soil and plugged the hole mixed with blood, and slowly smoothed the cracks, without rushing, as if nothing happened here.
Afterward, Shiroshi continued to take out a smoke bomb from his ninja kit.
He threw it towards Ayane.
The smoke bomb exploded, producing a large amount of white smoke that shrouded the venue. The enemy saw that they were in the smoke screen with their vision blocked, and they wanted to withdraw.
Another smoke bomb was thrown over, expanding the smoke range.
For Ayane, this is the perfect battle arena.
The enemy can use earth jutsu to divide the battlefield, then, Shiroshi can also use smoke bombs to create an exclusive venue that is convenient for the Byakugan to battle.
Not only that, but Ruri was also affected by the smoke.
However, Ruri who used to close her eyes with Shiroshi in battle games before, just lost the power of the Sharingan, and her actions were not hindered, so she just needed to make herself think she was fighting with her eyes closed.
As a result, those sand ninjas must be irritated by Shiroshi, the weak and shrinking medical ninja who kept throwing smoke bombs in the back.
Seeing that a small smoke bomb can play such a big role, Shiroshi got an idea.
It seems that special smoke bombs need to be made to make the smoke condense for a longer time and make the smoke spread more widely. When fighting, he is only responsible for medical treatment and throwing smoke bombs.
If this tactic works, it is a unique new tactic developed by their Sakumo team.
"Damn it! Get rid of the kid who threw the smoke bomb first!"
Really can't stand this blinding environment, one Sand Hidden Jonin roared in anger, almost vomiting blood.
They are not used to fighting in the smoke, and fighting the enemy with their eyes closed is simply courting death.
Even if you open your eyes, you can only see a very small area, but the enemy knows their actions like the back of your hand.
This kind of fight is extremely frustrating.
Obviously, their lineup is stronger than the opponents, and they will soon be able to form an absolute suppressing force, but after Shiroshi throws a smoke bomb from time to time, the battle situation is reversed.
And if they want to deal with Shiroshi, they have to go through the combination of Ruri and Ayane.
At the same time, it is also strange, isn't there a ninja who is good at earth style, why hasn't there been any action yet?
Does it take that long to deal with a medical ninja who only has the strength of genin?
Thousands of quenched poison needles are like scattered flowers falling from the sky. Sakumo is holding a white-toothed short knife. This is a short knife made of precious metal that can transmit Chakra.
Holding such a sharp weapon, cooperating with the seamless movement of his knife. The sand ninjas only saw countless invisible white sword light, The poison needles were all blocked by Sakumo without exception, and none of them managed to break through the defensive circle of Sakumo.
Fighting against him are two sand ninjas who are proficient in manipulating puppets.
One man and one woman, slightly older than him, should be a husband and wife, and the degree of tacit understanding is very high, especially the attack one after another, if it is not for him here, the general Jonin would have been defeated by the two of them.
Even though he blocked the large number of poisonous hidden weapons released by the two of them using the puppets, Sakumo still did not dare to be careless.
Using poison on the hidden weapons of the puppet, is a common assassination trick used by the ninjas in the puppet army of Sunagakure.
If the skin is accidentally cut, the poison will also spread through the skin wound and penetrate into the flesh.
By that time, the situation will undoubtedly become extremely troublesome.
Fighting against these puppet masters, the slightest accident can't happen.
However, Sakumo, who has performed many S-rank missions over the years, has experience fighting puppet masters. Even though the two opposite puppet masters have stronger puppet skills than the puppet masters he has encountered before, the weaknesses of puppet skills are also obvious.
Chakra is needed to control the puppets, and the body of the puppet master is generally weak.
Cutting off the chakra will only make the puppet master temporarily lose control of the puppets, and they will soon reunite the chakra and let the puppets join the battle.
Therefore, instead of cutting off Chakra, directly bypassing the puppet and attacking the puppet master is the best tactic.
How to get around it?
The sand-hidden ninja, a man, and a woman, kept protecting each other's positions, and the techniques were dazzling.
The puppets manipulated by the two of them were all hidden in the dark robes, and it was completely impossible to see how the hidden weapons were fired from there.
This disrupts Sakumo's analytical abilities.
Moreover, the other party knows his strengths and avoids close combat, they have always been careful to distance themselves from him.
This made Sakumo feel extremely difficult.
The opponent possessed incomparably rich combat skills, and among Sunagakure's puppet troops, they must also be an important figure.
"Try it!"
Delaying like this is not the way to go. The cooperation of the two puppet masters is flawless. As time passes, he is more worried about the situation on the side of the three.
More chakra was further guided into the white-toothed dagger in his hand, and the white-toothed dagger radiated a gleaming white light as if a layer of white moonlight had been plated on the blade, which was extremely conspicuous in the dim forest.
If you can't find the enemy's weakness, you can only force a breakthrough and create a weakness.
Pulling the puppet, the male ninja stepped backward, and the female ninja beside him also stepped backward. The two did not speak, but silently manipulated the puppets, but they had the same heart. Trying to understand what the other party is going to do.
When they saw the white light from the White Fang dagger, they knew that Sakumo was going to do something.
Can't give him a chance.
Passing through the rainstorm formed by the hidden weapons, Sakumo's figure was almost invisible, and one could only see the faint white light whistling, cutting off all the hidden weapons that were rushing towards him on the straight road, and charging straight forward.
The two puppets were clad in black robes and blocked in front of Sakumo in alternate positions, like elusive ghosts.
Scoff!
The black robe suddenly had a neatly cut slit, revealing the wooden body of the puppet inside.
"What!?"
Sakumo disappeared from their eyes.
The sharp light made the man and woman's eyes narrow.
Among them, the male ninja shoved away the female ninja and was cut open by the blade from the shoulders to the chest, spattering a lot of blood.
There was surprise in Sakumo's eyes. He thought that he would attack the woman, but he didn't expect the man to push the female ninja away so easily.
However, it was just astonishment, without hesitation, he continued to swing the second knife.
What was cut open was a puppet that was suddenly pulled over by the male ninja not far away, and blocked the second fatal blow in his place.
This guy! Sakumo's eyes were solemn.
Knowing that the first knife could not be avoided, the male ninja did not need to dodge at all. He just pushed the female ninja beside him away and pulled the puppet back. While Sakumo swung the second knife, the puppet was just pulled back.
This strong mentality that there is no panic between life and death, and still maintains absolute calmness, makes Sakumo feel difficult.
Boom!
A smoke bomb exploded, blocking Sakumo's eyes.
Immediately after, countless senbons and kunai flew out from the other end of the smoke, and Sakumo had to resist with his white-toothed dagger.
When he rushed over, the man and the woman had disappeared.
"Trouble, if we meet again next time, the previous move is likely to be seen through..."
Sakumo looked at the deserted forest in front of him and let out a light breath.
Without chasing after the man and the woman, Sakumo hurriedly returned to the battlefield where Shiroshi and the others were fighting.
When he arrived, the battle was already over.
It seems that based on the signal of the retreat of the man and the woman, the ninjas who fought against Shiroshi and the others are also retreating, and from here, they can only barely see their backs leaving.
Want to catch up?
When this thought flashed through Sakumo's mind, he saw Ayane and Ruri sitting tiredly by the tree, receiving Shiroshi's healing technique to restore their stamina and chakra.
Seeing this, Sakumo had no choice but to abandon this idea.
It would be too much for him to deal with so many ninjas by himself.
Fighting against Sunagakure's one man and one woman ninja, his physical strength and chakra consumption is also very fast, and now he should focus on rest.
"Shiroshi, how are their injuries?"
Sakumo came over and asked, a little tiredness appeared on his face.
Fighting with the two sand ninjas, his nerves have been tense, to avoid being scratched by the hidden weapons that were coated with poison.
"It's not a problem, it's just skin trauma, that is, Chakra is a bit exhausted."
Shiroshi replied.
Ruri and Ayane are recovering their stamina and chakra, and have no time to answer.
"That's good." Sakumo nodded, and suddenly smiled: "You guys are doing better than I thought, and under the siege of three Jonin and several Chunin, you can remain unbeaten, which is beyond my expectations."
"That's because the two strongest puppet masters were restrained by you, Sakumo-sensei."
Ayane could see clearly with her Byakugan eyes. The rain of senbon and kunai was like a torrential rain. Even with her Byajugan eyes, her scalp felt numb, and she couldn't escape unscathed like Sakumo.
The so-called strong ninja does not mean that the more powerful the ninjutsu is, the more gorgeous the ninjutsu, the greater the strength.
Some ninja abilities look ordinary, but they are the most lethal.
The puppet master is one of the best.
A scratch, a careless negligence, even if it is not poisoned by something highly poisonous, it will still be shot into a hedgehog by countless hidden weapons.
As the saying goes, it is easy to hide with a hidden arrow, but a puppet master is a group of assassination experts who are good at traps and hidden weapons.
This is also the reason why the Sunagakure's puppet army is a headache for many ninjas.
"Don't say that, with your age, you will definitely surpass me in the future. I believe that you have this potential. Before that, as the captain and your part-time teacher, I would fight to the death to keep you safe."
"Since Mr. Sakumo has guaranteed this, I really feel much safer. But the current situation is not very optimistic. What happened to the battle situation on the front line? How could such a powerful elite force sneak into the country?"
Ayane frowned tightly, puzzled.
"Compared to this, shouldn't you think about why Sunagakure's troops are mixed with ninjas who are proficient in earth-style ninjutsu? The consequences of this problem are more serious, right?"
Shiroshi said.
Mentioning this, the expressions of the other three people are a bit strange.
"The earth ninjutsu that can exert that kind of power it is not an ordinary ninja, and it is not indicated in the information. As the direct guards of the Hokage, what are those guys in Anbu doing?"
If it wasn't for the earth-style ninja who separated the three of them, the combination of Byakugan and Sharingan, and the dense concentration of Shiroshi's smoke bombs, would have made it easier to fight.
Therefore, Ruri expresses dissatisfaction with the inaction of the Anbu.
Sakumo stood on the side embarrassed. Although he also questioned the Anbu's recent ability, it was also an elite unit directly under the Hokage. Maybe they were just negligent and didn't realize it.
The Anbu's abilities are still very strong.
"Maybe we thought too much, and occasionally there are ninjas who are proficient in earth-style ninjutsu..."
When Sakumo said these words, Shiroshi and the rest of them didn't quite believe it.
Because everyone's nerves are too sensitive at this time.
Sunagakure has already launched an all-out attack on Konoha, so, would Iwagakure, who was on the sidelines before, really miss such a good opportunity and not enter the country of fire to loot?
Maybe Iwagakure didn't plan to fight at first, but now they can't tell.
